Hi, Suddenly two weeks ago, all my emails are disappearing on my handheld after 24 hours (it's not affecting my desktop email usage). I want to change the setting to stay for 60 days or so. I've fiddled and fiddled but I've been unable to fix it.

One thought that your message just prompted is that my kids have taken a bazilion pictures on my camera and I can't figure out how to select a lot of them to delete rather than manually doing it photo by photo (which takes forever). Do you think that might be driving the problem and filled up my memory? If so, do you know how to delete 90% of my photos in bulk?

Do you have a microSD memory card? If not, then the pictures taken will eat away at the free memory. It is recommended to get a microSD memory card for pictures, music and videos. Also, I don't see a way to select multiple files for deletion, at least on my 8100 Pearl. You may have to delete them one at a time.

That's what I was afraid of - will spend a boatload of time working on that to see if that helps. I am unable to reduce the amount of space dedicated to media (per message posted above) so looks like I have to manually delete these many, many useless pictures. Will NOT let kids play with phone anymore!

I've had the pearl for about a month and have emails disappear from my message box as well. I have tried all the fixes recommended on this forum, but it kept happening. So it turns out that our Verizon support says it is a known "software bug" that Blackberry is currently working on. Once they have it resolved, we should be able to upgrade the software via desktop manager. In the meantime, I guess we just wait.

I did the above like recommended and it worked! My emails are now sticking around and my call log is back. It took me manually deleting 550 silly pictures my 3-year old had taken (which took a very, very long time), but doing that, resetting the media memory and rebooting took care of it.

I share your relief in finding the solution here at the boards. The mods here are a bunch of helpful people. There's a lot of tips and tricks here that I myself learned.
